Funding is often the hardest part of getting a needed project built. Reichhardt & Ebe helps public agencies find and secure it, and we have prepared many successful grant and loan applications for municipal infrastructure.
Experience on both sides of the application
Many of our staff have worked for governmental organizations, where grant writing is a yearly event. That background, combined with staying current on funding opportunities, on the culture of the organizations that award them, and on the administrators and stakeholders involved, gives us a high success rate securing grants and loans for our clients.
Engineering knowledge that strengthens an application
We research applicable local, state, and federal funding programs, match them to a project's scope and readiness, and prepare competitive applications, including the engineering estimates, project descriptions, and supporting technical detail that reviewers look for. We coordinate with funding agencies through the review process and help position projects to score well.
Because we also provide the full range of engineering and construction management services for local government, we bring a thorough working knowledge of construction standards to the application itself. That is a key element when applying for target-specific grants and loans aimed at a particular infrastructure need.
The goal is simple: turn a well-scoped project into a funded one.
